A NISS/ASA Writing Workshop for New Researchers

该提案将支持为统计科学领域的新研究人员举办一个关于有效技术写作的讲习班，这些新研究人员寻求以申请联邦资助的赠款提案的形式发表其研究成果或提出其研究计划。 研究人员，特别是新的研究人员，往往难以传播他们的研究成果，不是因为研究的质量，而是因为特定研究的出版地点选择不当，和/或因为技术材料向选定的受众介绍不佳。关于技术写作技巧和统计科学主要期刊的具体任务和读者。 然后，每个参与的新研究人员将单独与一位经验丰富的期刊编辑合作，作为导师，在个性化的基础上解决这些问题，以起草新研究人员正在进行的工作。 根据本指南的修订将由导师进行批评，以确保新的研究人员的写作技巧的实施已经成功的文章或拨款建议提交审查之前。

This proposal will support a workshop on effective technical writing for new researchers in the statistical sciences who seek to publish their research or to present their research plans in the form of grant proposals for federal funding. Researchers, especially new researchers, often have difficulty disseminating their research results not because of the quality of the research but rather because of inappropriate choices of publication venues for the particular research and/or because of poor presentation of technical material to the chosen audience.This workshop will open with tutorial sessions on the organization of material for a technical article or grant application, on technical writing techniques and on the specific missions and audiences of key journals in the statistical sciences. Then each participating new researcher will work individually with an experienced journal editor as mentor to address these issues on an individualized basis for draft of the new researcher's work in progress. Revisions following this guidance will be critiqued by the mentor to assure that the new researcher's implementation of writing techniques has been successful before the article or the grant proposal is submitted for review.
